Musings and Stuff Pt 3

First Things First:

Book Three is...almost done! About 75% done. Well, at least the writing part. I'll still need to edit, but I've got some time set aside for that (obviously). But it feels good to be coming up to the finale of the story and mostly on schedule too. I'm excited to publish it. Hopefully you guys will like it as much as I do :P

ARC List!

I've set up a sign up form for ARC Readers on my website; there's also an external link. As soon as the book is ready, I'll let everyone know so they can go to the hosting site (in this case, BookSprout) and download from there.

Ooooo, things are moving along!

Misc. Stuff

The usual reminders...got stuff if you want stuff, at CafePress and Society6. I ordered some stickers from Society6 for the giveaway that's coming up - I'm quite happy with them. Kinda want to keep them myself...but I won't ;P

Also...<spooky ghost voice> BUY MY BOOOOOKS </spooky ghost voice>

Best way to get some backstory for Book Three. Not strictly necessary, but useful all the same.

Pet Tax

This lovable goof ball is Bailey, aka Bailor the Conqueror, aka Dog. He's a mutt. We think he's mostly shepherd/husky, but who knows. Here he is hamming it up for the camera last summer while relaxing under the lilacs.

Terrible Minds Flash Fiction Challenge - Strange Photos

Thought I'd have a go at one of these. Challenge was to search "Strange Photos" and pick one, write 1000 (or 1146, in this case) or so words of whatever comes to mind because of it. My dip into the 'strange photos' section of Google Images dumped me right in the lap of the Merrilyn Cryptid Museum which is full of the apparently re-discovered remains of various mythological creatures, all preserved and displayed all scientific and stuff. Anyway, here is... dun dun dun... The Collector Photo Credit: Alex CF 2016 In the basement, the boxes lie. A rustling of parchment. Flicker of the gas lamps. Scratching of nib against paper. But otherwise, silence. And a forest of boxes. The man at the desk put down his pen and blotted the ink. He surveyed his handiwork, double checking for mistakes. There were none, so he spread a layer of paste in the appropriate space and pressed the label into it: Homomimus Alatus (Common Fae) Abov

Writing Tip Wednesday

It's Writing Tip Wednesday - on a Friday! (Because I forgot to write it when I should have...) Which brings me to my tip: Schedule Shit. Weekly Disclaimer Thing : Writing, like all art, is a subjective experience. Stuff that works for me won't necessarily work for you...though I hope it does, since I'd love for everyone to succeed. Can never have enough books to read! Either way, take these tips with the giant grain of salt needed to season it to your liking, since I could very well be talking out my ass. Scheduling is Like the Outline of Your Life. I know. So deep. But it really is. I don't know why this didn't occur to me ages ago, since it's so damn obvious, but I think the perspective shift is good. It is! Because outlines are important, as we know (even if they're loose ones), so scheduling shit is important too. The level of it is, of course, up to you and what you're comfortable with. Some people like to pa

Miscellaneous Monday

Trudie Rowland (c) Aug 8, 2017 Cherries, Cherries and...More Cherries! So, Hubs has a boss who lives near by, and he has a cherry tree in his yard. He also doesn't have time/energy to pick the cherries, or know what to do with them, so for the low, low price of All The Cherry Pie He Can Eat, he lets me do it (I also get to keep whatever I make out of them, which this year is going to be mostly jam). This year, we got ~ 20L of cherries - again. That was about the yield we got last year. It's a lot of cherries. I also used last year's pic, since the lighting was better (this year, everything's smoky and gross owing to forest fires out west). Now I have to pit them all, so that's going to be fun. Last year it took me about a week solid, by myself, one at a time. This year... Will probably be about the same, actually. Which is going to be such fun, because by the time I'm done pitting and canning all of these, it's time for apples (bos
